“We will remember this day out for a long time! The white water rafting was great, and we even managed to spot some wildlife in the trees and on rocks along the river as well. The tour really fell down though on it's lack of communication on what the plan was for my husband and I when it came to the tubing part of the tour... It was after the half way break of the tour that they tried to put us in the tubes and we realised what we'd signed up for. Just to give some general advice on the tubing - there was only myself and my husband…”
